No. Wine tells the operating system to execute the code, and catches the system calls. The executable will not run on the PPC. > I'm not > quite getting the difference between an X86 emulator to run on a ppc > box, or... yeah, I'm confused. Wine just sets up an environment that win32 exe's can be run it, but requires a x86 processor. It looks like in future they will have an x86 emulator so it might work in future for PPC (and others).
